y eie Alas5 nNlnS OF uylnS, clearnesS OF
sasion should come to enlighten us at the
supreme moment only. I turned from the
window to the doctor.
"Can see him." 1 said; che was the
best friend 1 had in the world"
Certainly you can see him." he answer
ed. II rejoice indeed that you or any one
belonging to him should be here. l viii
take you to him at once, He has a fittic
fever, but is otherwise quite quiet; no
acute suffering, happily. Nothing can
harm him now"
"Do you mean that as certainty" L
said. Forgive me, have no reason
whatever to doubt your capacity or that you
have done everything that is right on the
contrary, you inspire me with confidence.
Still, in certain cases, a consultation"
He shook his head, smiling little. II
lay no claim" he said, "to infallibility, and
could see the faintest hope in possible
change of treatment l should be the first
to invite consultation. But your friends
case is hopeless; the merest tyro in my pro-
fession could not fail to see it at once. 1t
is only an unusual strength of constitution
that has enabled him to live till now"
He led the way as he spoke, up fight
after flight Of the shallow hotel stairs, and
down long passage to remote and silent
part of the house. AT the end of the pas
sage door stood ajar. The doctor paused
before we reached it. "You will no doubt
wish to remain with your friend ?" he
said.
Undoubtedly" l answered.
He gave NE one or two bFief directions,
then, signing to me to wait for moment,
opened the door and went in. The room
he entered was so small that, standing
there in the doorway, I took it in at
glance 1t was little wooden room, with
brown walls, and brown uncarpeted floor,
fresh and pleasing in its simplicity. One
or two chairs, table in the window,
smaller one with lighted candle, and some
walls at the head of the bed where my
friend was lying, were with the bed itself,
the principle furniture He was alone,
A woman Of the village who had attended
him during the day was but just gone, and
the doctor had undertaken to watch him
through the night; but not the less, the
silence, the loneliness in which he lay there
dying, struck me painfully. He lay with
closed eyes, his hands spread out on the
Counterpart, his head supported by pillows.
The night was warm, and though the little
easement stood wide open, he seemed OPP
pressed by the heat, and to breathe with
difficulty. He was not changed; in early
youth even his features had been too mark
ed to alter readily; only the lines with
WHICH I had been familiar had deepened,
and the pallor of mortal sickness overspreadd
his countenance.
He opened his eyes as the doctoa
approached his bedside.
"What time is it?n he sal

This evening, turning over an old port
folio, in search of document of which l
was in need, 1 came upon note dated
some fve-and-thirty years back. l had
not forgotten its contents, but l was I'M
aware Of its existence; and as l glanced at

heart was weighed down by the sense O.
our long estrangement; it was breaking a
the thought that we should have met only
to find him like this. He spoke again
quite suddenly:
"You never believed me about Lucy
he said.
"For Gods sake, Ambrose, don't speak
of that again. 1 cried in anguish. "For
give me, forgive me! the loss of all these
years has been mine
'No, nc" he said; ''it is 40 matter. All
is over now, apd it Is all one, Life, too
will be over in few hours, and that is
well. Strange" he went on after pause
"that men should dread death as they do
have thought so always; now that l am
dying | think SO more than ever. To
dread the unknown-when to know the
unknowable IS the great and unattainable
desire of life."
"Most men think otherwise" l said;

thing has gone wrong between me and life;

He lay silent again for long while His
breathing was difficult and oppressed; but
he was suffering no acute pain, he told me;
he may even have dosed, as he lay there,
his eyes opening and closing from time to
time. Now and then the wind stirred the
trees on the hill outside; the shadows slow
ly moved with the advancing night; other
wise all was still. But presently he began
to turn restlessly in the bed; his hands, hot
with fever, strayed over the Counterpart,
When he spoke again his mind was wand
ering little.

BLASPHEMOUS SPIES.
A vile Letter from the Wretched Dog to
SILLY Nina YanZandt.

A Vile Letter from the wretched Dog to
Silly Nina YanZandt.
CHICAGO, Ill, Jan. % In letter
from Spies to silly Nina VanZandt, which
was written before Miss VanZandt's pies
made Spies look upon death by hang
ing as not altogether the worst thing in
the world, Spies declares that the men,
beers of the Board of Trade furnished the
means to prosecute him, and that the
basis of this prosecution was the demon
stration made by The socialists at the
opening of the new board of trade build
ing. Then the anarchist says: "You find
an analogous case, my dear, in Judaic
history; you, who are well versed
in the Scriptures, as believe, will prob
ably remember the crucifXion of young,
bright, generous and noble-hearted Jew
by the name of Jesus, and in connection
with this incident you will likewise re-
member that few days prior to His Ie
gal' murder, He had entered the Temple of
Jerusalem, which he found occupied by
the board of trade men of the city. Let
me also call to your attention what He
said and did on this occasion. l quote
from Matthew: and Jesus went into
the Temple of God and cast out all them
that sold and bought in the Temple, and
overthrow the tables of the money chang
ers bankers and said unto them: My
house shall be called the house of prayer,
but We have made it a den of thieves
"And when the Jerusalem board of
trade men SAW their respectable business
thus exposed by this foreign, half-dis-
tracted, wild-eyed, ranting agitator,' and
when they saw that His words were lis
tened to eagerly by the people, they sum-
moned their hireling Pharlsees and scribes
and found charge of conspiracy,
'drummed up some charges against the
Iawless fend, and crucitied Him as a
convicted felon.' You will readily see
the analogy of this and our own case"

committing suicide. He took the quinine
to his lodgings, put on his grave clothes,
shaved himself with dull razor, and then
lay down upon the bed with q teaspoonful

woke up the next morning and found him
self alive he came to the store and re-
lieved himself of his bile. Three weeks

BEECHER AND THE SOLDIERS HOME.
One of the Last Acts of Plymouth's Great
Pastor Recalled.

Pastor Recalled.
Brooklyn Citizen.
One of the last public acts of Henry Ward
Beecher was announcements from the pulpit
two Sundays before his death, of concert to be
given in the Sunday -school room under the
auspices of the Young Peoples Association. for
the purpose of aiding in procuring library for
the disabled volunteer soldiers in the mill
tary home at Leavenworth, Kan. The govern
ment provides the Home and gives a comfortable
support to the veterans but makes proper
provision for their entertainment, and the Heme
must depend upon outside aid to enable them
TO while away the somewhat monotonous days.
Mr.. Beecher especially called attention to the
fact that library a very attractiye method
for preventing the old soldiers from going into
the city and indugne in dissipation In conclu-
sion, he remarked II propose. in this case,
least, to practice what l preach, and intend to
send to the church tomorrow twenty-five vol
umes from my own library, and l hope that you
will ALSO every one of you, do your share in like
manner. If you are not able to do that. that
you will at all events attend the concert and
swell the funds for the purchase of books"
The following day he was as good as his word.
he sent u large wheebarrow load OF books to
the church. His appeal resulted in securing for
the Home nine large cases of books, making
something like two thousand volumes, which
were generously conveyed TO Leavenworth by
the Arbuckle Brothers free of charge. The
books have reached their destination in safety,
as appears from the following letter just
ceived from Col. Andrew J. Smith, Governor
of the Home, addressed to Gen. Horatio c.
King:
